Friday 2nd February - All 4 seen - Cow 234 has a pink patch on her rear right leg

The four British Whites from Caesar's Camp were busy grazing in Camp 45 at 16:05 this afternoon. They were all happy and relaxed and enjoying lots of grass. It appears that they had been exploring, as a few of them had burrs in their tails and on their sides and heads. Cow 215 and steer 227 were their usual friendly selves and came and said hello and stood and received ear rubs.

Cow 234 had a pink patch on her rear right leg. It wasn't causing her any issues and she was walking around fine. The cows were all good today.

They seem to have settled in well.
